Michael P. Johnson Poems

“Forgive me please this time of night
My friend’s in so much pain
Across the moor we saw your light
Despite this fog and rain
...

“Come help me Lord this cross to bear
Come teach my soul to pray
Come set me free from Satan’s snare
And strengthen me to stay
...

Uphold, your shepherd’s hand in prayer
Show each in Christ how much you care
When work is shared by all at hand
Shepherds so helped are sure to stand
...

“Oh Lord my God I’m back once more
Again I’ve done You wrong
Just like a fool I’ve broke Your law
And cannot sing my song
...

There is a race that must be run
By all who dwell the earth
To win we need God’s living Son
And gift of second birth
...

We buy a house that cannot last
A car that’s doomed to rust
Few think about our wayward past
Or when we turn to dust
...

Won’t stop for long, just passing through
God’s Son is on the throne
His way of life we must pursue
Just like a rolling stone
...

We thank the Lord for love and grace
For peace that reigns within
Yet spit upon His righteous face
Each time we turn to sin
...

Last week my room was full of light
Then someone called my name
I thought it strange as though it might
Have come within a flame
...

How foolish is the wayward mind
Living the devil’s lie
To Heaven’s Truth totally blind
Condemned and bound to die
...
